Further infomation

  • Please ask at reception regarding charges in relation to any private work not listed above.
  • GPs are not obliged to complete applications relating to firearms and this will be solely at the discretion of each GP.
  • When your doctor signs a certificate or completes a report, it is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true. In order to complete even the simplest of forms, they may have to check your entire medical record (some of which may not be accessible on a computer or on site).
  • Please do not expect your GP to process non-NHS forms overnight. Urgent requests may mean that a doctor has to make special arrangements to process the form quickly, and this may incur an additional charge.
  • We also may refer you to liaise with a private GP or private medical practitioner if the request is outside the capacity of the GPs to perform within the requested timescale or requires a consultation with a more specialised medical practitioner.
